Call me picky,
but unless all the parrots in the world died last weekend, you still do have the opportunity.

This just sounds like an excuse. You just don't want to put your hand in your pocket, do you, you scrooge.

Well, no, not really.
I mean - we paid the fee for the boat and everything, and parrots cost quite a lot of money. For a novelty gift it would be nothing short of foolish to spend such money on a complete stranger, not to mention cruel to the animal as invariably it would have been unwanted, and he might well have felt a little insulted as well.
